Excerpt:

Republicans should have made clear their position from the outset: an allegation, no matter how credible, cannot kill a man’s career without a shred of corroborative evidence. Then they should have asked specific questions designed to elicit the fact that Ford has provided no corroborating evidence. They should have called all the witnesses she mentioned to deny on record that they recall such a party (particularly Mark Judge, whom they spoke with but who was not subpoenaed). They should have asked her whether she could lock down location or date — something that could help them corroborate her statements. Such questions would have represented the only reason for having a hearing in the first place: we already knew of her account in writing, and nothing markedly changed from that account. Democrats wanted her to testify so they could obscure her lack of corroborating evidence with emotion. Republicans allowed her to do just that.

Ben may be missing that the Pubs had to remain cordial with Ford and let her speak.

Meh.  As riveting as it was to watch this circus today, I doubt anyone went in without an opinion, and I doubt anyone changed his or her mind as a result of what was said.

Typical Ben. Always trying to be the smartest guy in the room by being a contrarian. This played out just fine. Ford was made irrelevant and shown to be a liar and Kav got to unload on those Rat freaks. As a bonus DiFi was exposed as corrupt.

Not bad for a days work.
